I just have a question, althought I am probably rather late to the debate: this plugin seems to be rather helpful when you do not completely follow the maven way of setting up your build. Promoting it to apache makes it sound like other ways are more accepted than before. Although I am all in favor of giving people tools to solve their issues, I am just wondering if something hasn't changed there. It's maybe just a feeling... Finally, if adding a source or a test-source or attach an artifact becomes an accepted concept, I tend to wonder why it doesn't become part of the pom itself. I find strange that one needs to add 20 lines of XML when the real content is just one line. So is there some plan to modify the pom in 2.1 to have these features? If yes, then -1 to include the plugin on apache. If not, why not? :) With regard to names, do we plan to gather under this plugin other goals that fit this little border line use cases? If so, what about a name that integrates this concept? xbuild (x for eXtended)? Jerome
